Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\) Assertion \(A :\) Photodiodes are preferably operated in reverse bias condition for light intensity measurement. Reason \(R\) : The current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for a \(p - n\) junction diode. In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Photodiodes are operated in reverse bias as fractional change in current due to light is more easy to detect in reverse bias.

A square loop of side \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\) and resistance \(0.7\ \Omega\) is placed vertically in east-west plane. A uniform magnetic field of \(0.20 \mathrm{~T}\) is set up across the plane in north east direction. The magnetic field is decreased to zero in \(1 \mathrm{~s}\) at a steady rate. Then, magnitude of induced emf is \(\sqrt{\mathrm{x}} \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}\). The value of \(x\) is _______.

An EM wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are \(\overrightarrow {{E_1}} = {E_{01}}\hat x\;cos\left[ {2\pi v\left( {\frac{z}{c} - t} \right)} \right]\) in air and \(\overrightarrow {{E_2}} = {E_{02}}\hat x\;cos\left[ {k\left( {2z - ct} \right)} \right]\) in medium, where the wave number \(k\) and frequency \(v\) refer to their values in air. The medium is nonmagnetic. If \(\varepsilon {_{{r_1}}}\) and \(\varepsilon {_{{r_2}}}\) refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively, which of the following options is correct?
